1. Run Malbytesware Pro Full Scan and found no Infections
2. Run Microsoft Security Essentials Full Scan and found no Infections
3. Run Malbytesware Anti-Rootkit and no problems were found
4. Turned off all Chrome Extensions
5. Disabled all Chrome Plugins except for Adobe Flash Player
6. Cleared Browsing Data “since the beginning of time.”
7. Run ccleaner
8. Run ADWcleaner and found no problems.
9. I am using Malbytesware Anti-Exploit
10. I am using Hitman Pro Alert

Despite these efforts to resolve this issue my laptop is maddeningly slow.

Might I be infected? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might find a remedy to this issue?

Hi

Not a great deal showing there so it may just be a case of TLC so I will empty the temps and ask you to run two windows programmes. Chkdsk and disc defragment. We will then look at the situation and go from there

WarningThis fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

Run OTL

Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

Files\Folders moved on Reboot...
C:\Users\Lewis\AppData\Local\Temp\FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt moved successfully.
C:\Users\Lewis\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\counters.dat moved successfully.

Both the Start Up and Opening Up Browser Pages were both not only slow but getting visibly slower and slower until last night when I was afraid I was losing my laptop.

Happily I heard about "Trojan Killer" which although my laptop was running very slowly and taking over three hours to download, scan, register and quarantine the infected items it appears to have done a good job at finding the infections although I am puzzled as to why Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Pro, etc. did not show any of the infections upon running their respective scans.

Here is the link to an image that will find an image showing the infections that were found.

Actually my laptop seems to be running fine since I ran the "Trojan Killer but since it seems that the items in Trojan Killer warranty are not a significant threat I am at a loss as to explain why my laptop is now seemingly running well.
